Dec. 30th, in her 93rd year, Mrs. 'Harris, despite hen advanced years, enjoyed exceedingly fine health and her sudden passing from a heart at- tack was a "great shock to her fam- ily and friends. Born in Downie Townsthip int 1844 she resided there gntil she moved with her parents to 'TUrnberry 72 years ago. Seventy years ago she was married to her late 2lnisband, who predeceased her by 12 years.

Did You Ever Know (Continued from Page 2) Clerks Speculate This statement is corroborated by the testimony of "a half pay officer in Canada," writing in the United •',Service Journal of January, 1839. 3s notorious, he charged, that e ery -clerk In every public office specu tes in land, doing business in the n• .'e ,of a friend. He says that this is reason there is so little land ava .table for the time -expired soldie Writing again in a later issue'of the name journal, the officer draws atten- -tion to the enormous number of U. E. Loyalist rights that have been estab- lished. "The nulmber of claims of this nature established within the last few years is truly miraculous," he :rays, and points out that when. new -surveys are made the best lots are ,gone at once under the U. E. L. rights, -the immigrant settlers having no •chance as against those on the inside -or wild are friends of the provincial :authorities. ' These favored specula- tors merely hold the lands for rise in values. An investigation of the public de- partments, which was made in 1839, caonfirm'ed the charges. Grave-Irregu- !larities were found in the department reef the Surveyor -General of Landis. Lots wlhich should have been sold by the 'Commissioner of Crown Lands had in anany cases been located to individu- als t. by the senior clerk. "His pol- icy,l' said the official report, 'has se- cured for him a numerous band of -partisans, as the listof names he was able to command. wthen soliciting the appointment of surveyor-genelnal suf- ficiently testifies:'.

Canadian Cattle 'for United States Under the Canada -United States Trade Agreement the duty on cattle imported into the United States from Canada was lowered from three cents to two cents per pound, but the num- ber of cattle weighing 700 pounds or over to enter under the two,centt rate was limited to • 155,799 •head, after which the old rate of three cents per pound was to apply. Nearly ninety per Bent. of the imports) to the- Unit- ed States of this class of cattle came fr+am Canada, as has been the case in previous years, and by early Oc- tober, 1936, the quotaeof 155,799 head had been filled, During 1936, imports to the United States of cattle weigh- ing less than 175 pounds came prin- cipally from Canada, The rate was reduced under the Agreement from 2% to 11/2 cents per pound, but a quota on this class of cattle was set at 51,933 head and was filled in the early part of August, 1936. Since that time the full rate of 21/2 cents per pound has applied during the remain- ing part of the year to cattle under 175 pounds. The number of cattle to be import- ed to the United States in 1937 will depend on two factors writes the Canadian Trade C'oinmiesioner in New York. The first factor will be the level of domestic prices, and the sec- ond, the supply of Canadian cattle available for shipment. Cattle prices ' in the United States for 1937 are ex- pected to be higher than. in, 1936. On the other hand, it appears that the number of cattle fed in Canada in the fall and winter of 1936 will be smaller than 1935,.so that in the first half of 1937 the total imports of cat- tle from Canada to the United States will probably be no larger, and may be smaller, than in the corre,sp,onding period of 1936. 00 (3y Hannah Lees ilk' Reader's Digst) Irt that/ been nearly 40 years since a mise named K1iltam. thought of put- thug a bellow tube dawm throl.h peo Pie's_ mouths into their Chests and looking around to see what was wrong. He didn't do badly with that fieri rough bronchoscope, either, with the help of a strong light and a mir- ror en his forehead to reflect it drown into the tube. But that indirect lighting made it difficult to get a good look and 'bronchoscopy, as you read about it to -day is the papers when ,children have nails or beads taken out; of their lungs, actually dotes from the tiane, not many years later, when a young Pittsburgh doc- tor, Chevalier • Jackson', had another bright idea. He took Killian's tube, ran a wire down the side and put a tiny electric light way down inside the end, sto that he could really see. This may seem a simple idea but the passage into eshioh that straight tube has to go is neither simple nor stratight. Imagine a tree upsidie down, or better still a grapevine. The orig- inal trunk is your windpipe Which di- vides' into two forks, and those are your bronchi, Then those forks be- gin to branch and branch, first into your smaller bronchial tubes, then in- to your, bronchiolest which by that time are very ,small indeed. And af- ter a good deal more branching each little brondblole ends in g, lot of -al- most miscroscopie bunches of grapes and those are what make up Your lungs. When you breathe in some- thing you shouldn't—which, doctors say, is practically always the result of careleesnesennit gets sucked right on down until it sticks and, blocks your airways, and it is into whatever branch the foreign body happens to stick that -the bronchoscopist has to send his straight tube. That means putting you In such a position that your mouth and throat and windpipe and bronchial tubes are `all" in a straight line, and that takes some doing. Then, after they get the tube in place, a tube sometimes less than half the size of your little finger, they have to get elaborate long slim instrumxmts down inside that to scoop or snip or grab. Suppose a child is brought into a hospital having serious trouble with breathing, and his mother has an idea that she is short one safety pin. That is fairly logical thing to suppose be- cause Dr. Jackson's clinic alone has taken out close to 300 safety pins. Well, after tapping and listening, they X-ray the child front different angles. They study the plates and study the child himself under .the • fluoroscope. until they know exactly where that safety pin is and' in. exactly what position. Then knowing exactly where it is does the bronohoscopist go right to work and take it out? He does' not. He has a dummy on which he works everything out first. The best dum- my is a flat cloth -covered board with several pieces ofn rubber tube fast- ened down on it and the first thing to do is to hook the safety pin in the cloth just the way its brother is inside Junior and try with a variety of long slim forceps getting it out through a tube of the right size with- out tearing anything. There are 16 different ways of ex- tracting open safety pins, practically every one of them calling for different instruments. Sometimes it is a good idea to Straighten eut the pin, -some- times to, bend it, 'sometimes to cut it up in pieces, but most often to close it. Sometimes the pin won't . come out with any of the regular instru- ments and then the broneh'oscopist will invent one to do the trick. In �: Tourist (to native): "Is this a very healthful place?"

THE DOUBLE - BARRED CROSS International Symbol of the Crusade against Tuberculosis • Aatpages arm, march oss the of history,fighting for their rights or their wrongs as the case may be, one custom seems to have been common • to them all: each carried flags and banners on which appeared the emblem of the cause. Good or bad, the cause was always blazoned forth in terms of heraldry which gradually became ahighly speci- alized study. After the dawn of the Christian era the cross became a tre- mendously popular symbol and With this emblem upon their banner, many a doughty knight rode forth to do battle for his principles and to save or reclaint the Holy -Land from the Infidel. Crosses of all shapes, sizes and.orna- mentations have been used by innumer- able families, cities, orders, guilds, nations and causes. The Spaniards found a religious symbol among the Aztecs which was very similar to our cross. Tho swastika of Hitlerism is an old symbol made of several crosses. Thus the habit of choosing emblems has carried over into our modern civilization and clubs and such peacetime associa- tions still follow that age-old custom. It was therefore quite the natural thing that as the war against tuberculosis gathered momentum, and nation after nation took up the cause, that some international emblem should be chosen which would be symbolic. The matter was given careful consideration for it was important that the symbol should be internationally accepted and have a universal appeal, and yet It should be decidedly distinct from any already adopted international symbol such as the Red Cross. It would seem that the tuberculosis campaigners of the eighteen -nineties or thereabout, deliberately went out after a symbol that would have something like the significance and universal accept- ance of the Red (Geneva) Cross, and yet be quite distinguishable from it. They had to avoid not only the Red Cross, but those of the various saints, George, Anthony, Andrew and so on. They bad also to avoid the Celtic, the Greek, the Maltese and the Papal. In the words of Dr. D. A. Stewart, After that; it would seem that what they thought they might require they wont and took.' And so we have the patri- archal cross, the Lorraine cross of the two crusades accomplished, now a symbol in every land of a now popular, enthusi- astic and successful crusade against. entrenched tuberculosis, a new crusade to win back for all the people of the world the Holy Land of Health." This is the banner -tinder which the Muskoka, the Toronto and the Queen Mary Hospitals for Consumptives have marched these many year's—the banner under which they and other sanatorium and tuberculosis workers' organizations in the Province have won such marked success.

When it comes • I10 problems of ex- tractdon, even an open safety pin bas nothing ori a peanut, •because a ,peas nut, along with most vegetable 'sub- stances, Is radio -Grandparent, which means that the X-rays go night through it. So_the bronehoscopist bas to go down with his bronchoscope and look around till he sees what he is after, And when he does see, he has to • be painfully carful, for if he should crush the peanut' trying to get it out, tiny fragments would be breathed right downinto the patient's lungs where even the- finest broncho- scope couldn't go. What is more, peanuts; along with beans and some other substances, once inside the breathing apparatus, cane swelling and inflammation that make them ev- en handier to reach. Pins and even pieces of glass sometimes stay for years without bothering one. Some of the greatest problems be- sides o-sides the safety pin and peanut .are;, the double -pronged upholstery tack,' because two ends have to be covered before it can be withdrawn, and the mushroom-theadted tack, because it us- ually goes down head first and would catch and scrape on the way out un- less the edges were covered or the thing turned arrouaxd. The list of things found in people's brnpald in- cludes also item's' such as small Oath, fish hooks, medials,, rings, pieces of wire and living leeches. , But : h extractions 'Lum only a very, small fraction of the b'i'oneho- scopist's daily routine. For a bron- choseopist in seientific circles is more accurately known as an endo- scopiet; he can also look into the larynx, the esophagus, or the stom- ach, where have been found burrs, hairpins, whole chains of safety •pins, dollars, half-dollars—even stones ap- proaching golf -ball size. Other things the end'oscopiat can do are: remove tumors that... block food or air passages, suck out air- ways stopped up by infection, and di- late passages ,closed by inflammation. He can treat abscesses way down in the .lungs'. and bring material right from the source for making vaccines to cure those abscesses. Also he goes down into the lungs or esophagus or stomach when trouble is only dimly suspected and brings up little pieces of tissue for study. This is particu- larly important in the lungs, far can- cer of the lungs seems to _,be on the inorease. Early diagnosis meane a chance for early operation, and the only means of early and positive diagnosis of eancer of the lungs and esophagus is by brin,giree up a snip for examination. Endoscopy, then, whether it be concerned with problems of research or of safety pins, is a delicate science indeed., That it is both important and needed is evidenced by the fact that there are endoscopic clinics to- day in, every large city in America, in every country in Europe, and in China and Japan. A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA • FRESH AIR AND EXERCISE Is your child a hot (house plant? Certainly not, but unfortunately many children are being raised as if they were. Many parents do net know the meaning of healthy exercise and for- get the value of fresh air. True, evert child, unless i11, plays and' uses up a lot of energy. How muoh good will it do a child if he has to be near his mother all the time and spends his time playing in a hot stuffy kitchen, laundry or wherever the mother is working? Ev- ery child should spend three to five hours a• ,day playing in the open air, except ithe very hot, the very cold, or stormy weather. Occasionally one sees the child who is too active, plays too hard, does not sleep well, does not eat, is irritable and restless. That child needs curb- ing in his activities and should be made to take more rest, When sleeping the window of the bedroom should be open to allow for fresh air, though one should not al- low a direct draught on the child. Ev- en when the child is ill tbe room should be aired while the child is taken to another room. Babies should sleep out Of doors during the day time, after one month of 'age. This means that except when being fed or changed the baby spends the whole day in the open air. The carriage should be placed so that the wind does not blow directly on the baby. After once accustomed to sleeping out, most ,babies object strenuously if they are kept indoors. Babies and children can be out of doors in all except the most severe weather (10 degrees F. below zero or lower) if properly clothed. For exercise the infant should be allowed to kick' en the bed or a blanket on the floor with no clothes on, at bath time and before bed time at night. Let us strive to give our children healthy exercise, and above all make the fullest' use of fresh air which may so easily be. bed.
